Shel,
I would take a look at Konica Impressa 50. I just bought some from B&H a
month or so ago. Both B&H and Adorama stock it. The price is about the
same as Agfa Optima 100. They don't stock as much of it, so they can run
out occasionally. I rather like the film. As with any film, you should get
a few rolls and try it out to see how it works for you before using it on a
real project.
